Night In Gotham (open)
Gotham.

It was a hard city. It was her city.

Helena Rosa Bertinelli was an English teacher by day, but by night she was the Huntress.

A local drug dealer was having his sellers getting closer and closer to her school. No one messed with her kids. Drugs near her school would not be tolerated, nor would gangs. As soon as she heard about the drugs dealers Helena made a plan to take action. There would be no drugs near her kids.

After school had let out, she donned her costume and went hunting.

The low level guys were taken out rather easily. It took Helena a little while to find the upper management, but she did find them. It had been a brutal fight, but in the end she had won. The only problem she had was that the bigwig wasn't there.

Now Helena was looking for him.

There is another hunter in the Gotham night, the hunter, and he follows Huntress' progress unseen. She's going up against people tied to a major cartel out of Puerto Rico. Batman has been tracking their movements and money for some time, trying to make certain they never gain a real foothold in Gotham.

He doesn't want the mob, or worse, thinking they can come into his city.

Eventually, he'll catch up with Huntress to give her a bit more information to go on before she continues her search.

"Good work, so far." he says, offering her a rare compliment.

Batman wasn’t the only person watching Huntress’s progress intently though his reason for doing so was very different than his. Question knew what Huntress was after and had looked into it a bit himself as to better understand the situation but what he really was curious about was what she was going to do when she got there.

If it seemed like she need his help he would intervene but as little as made sense. This was her gig after all.

He guessed Batman knew what was going on and that he was also there but it did particularly matter to him.

What he had seen so far made him smile under his faceless mask. “What will you do next,” he said quietly under his breath.

"A compliment, Batman? I didn't realize it was my birthday. Or is it Christmas already?"

She glanced over at him. She was perched on a rooftop over looking a club where Fernando Escabara was known to hang out.

"Escabara is dangerous, Huntress. He has mercenaries in his employ and he doesn't hesitate to kill. He's supposed to have a meeting tomorrow night with a Mexican drug lord to start moving weapons into the States. He'll sell them to the gangs and anyone else who can meet his prices." Batman says, pulling out a pair of binoculars and looking down at the club.

He passes them to Huntress in case she wants to get a better look.

If Vic was closer to listen he corroborate the information but was watching from the distance for now looking for anything that might be missed.

"Dangerous or not, he made the mistake of having his people sell to my kids. That's going to cost him. Dearly."

That anger was both an asset and a liability, but only time would tell for certain which it was.

"All right. We go on your mark, if you want the help." Batman offers.

Vic knew about what it was like to have anger control you and to control it. He was wondering which path Huntress would choose. He hoped she had learned since they had last seen each other.

Question would hang back and offer support as needed whether he was asked to or not.

As much as she wanted to make Escabara pay, waiting until tomorrow night when he was meeting the weapons dealer was more strategically sound.

She cursed under her breath.

"Tomorrow night," she said. "I'll deal with Escabara tomorrow night. If we break up the meeting we get Escabara and a source of drugs and weapons."

She wanted to hit something even more now. Badly.

"I have a contact who's going to attend that meeting tomorrow night. He'll get the time and location of the meeting and pass it to you." Batman says.

"He should have the information in a few hours if he's not lying to me. His name is Matches Malone and he's as trustworthy as they get, criminal-wise. Just don't implicate him as your contact or he's a dead man." Batman says.

"Deal?"

Helena nodded. "Deal," she said. It was unusual for Batman to be offering up something like this. Especially to her. He had issues with how she did things and was usually trying to keep her from doing what needed to be done. Definitely not trying to help her.

"I took out most of the lowlevel pushers earlier," she said despite knowing that he probably already knew that.

Vic had noticed that it seemed like the attack was off. With that being the case he decided to come down and say hi. He was curious as to their reactions.

Helena turned at the sound of someone landing behind her. Her crossbow was up and aimed at the interloper. She relaxed after a moment when she realized who it was.

"Question," she said with a nod.

"I thought that might be you following her. I wanted to talk to you about something, and thought I might find you if I trailed Huntress long enough." Batman says, looking at Question.

"Interested in solving a murder?" Batman asks him.

"We'll get to why you've been following me later," she said to Question. "But I want in on this, or are you going male chauvinist on me and going to say this is a boy's only thing?"

"You've already got something pretty large on your plate, Huntress. I don't think you'll want to do much traveling when you've already got the cartels to worry about." Batman says.

"This is something that needs a different perspective, like Question's." Batman says.

Vic smiled beneath his faceless mask. “I don’t mind her joining,” He said, “What’s so unique about this case that even you need a different perspective to look at it?”

"It involves someone who just came back from the dead. I think magic is involved, as well as a con-man from England. The few people I've discussed this with all think that I'm biased against the person that came back to life.

I'd like to see what you can dig up about this. If you find something different than I did, then I'll drop it. If you learn some of the same things I did, then I can go back to the people I discussed it with and get them to rethink their acceptance of things.

The only thing working against you is that the crime scene is about two weeks old. You'll need to break into the Coast City PD to get their info. I'm willing to be the cemetery is still closed off, though. The owners of the graveyard and their five employees all died that night.

Two people walked away from that: Green Lantern and John Constantine. I need to know the link between the two of them." Batman says.

"Thanks, Question," she said and gave him a small smile. "Bats is right though. I need to take care of these drug cartels first. I want to keep them away from kids."

Question nodded listening to what Batman said. It definitely sounded like an interesting case. “I’ll take a look into it,” Question said, “Though I would recommend you get an expert or two in investigating the occult to look into it. I knowledge a magic isn’t that great.”

"The only other occultist I know, I usually go to as a last resort as he tends to have a full plate a lot of the time." Batman says, thinking of Jason Blood. Jason is a good man, and a great occultist, but he didn't want to drag him into anything.

"When you've looked into to it, let me know what you find and then I'll go to my contact from there." he says.

"Looks like the party is over," Huntress said. "I'll see you tomorrow night." And with that she took off.

After the others had left and he was sure they were far enough away not to hear or notice it Vic had a load coughing fit that he had been holding back for a little while. Once that was over he left walking away whistling some annoying pop sound he had heard on the radio recently.
